Pinheaded imbeciles complaining about something in a product they’d never use on a platform they hate: Android fanboys ladies and gents
It will increase the risk for all sorts of attacks and nonsense.
Exactly
Why do we treat phones as such precious things but computers are fair game? Just have it as an opt-in feature.
I know I’m safer at home than going outside but I want to go in an adventure.
Why do people in this comments act like App Store stop exist the day sideloading allowed? Stop choking on that apple pie and calm your juice! geez
You don’t want to sideload? Great! Hypothetical reduced security for sideloading users? Also great! That is their phone, their choice.
Good lol
Scammers are in for a treat
So? Make it an opt-in setting like on Android
Apple will always make excuses… Come on Hungary is waiting for sideloading😃😃
Sure, it could also increase the risk of Apple losing some of their monopoly.
If we lose the only meaningful non-Chromium web browser user base it’s a bad time for the open web.
WebKit (Safari) on iOS is the only reason Google can’t completely dictate web standards. If a significant margin of iOS users install a Chromium based Chrome ad we’re back into the “This page works best in IE” days. Except it’ll be way worse.
Maybe yes, maybe no. Let’s see.
Oh no poor Apple users, faced with a very strange thing called CHOICE
Well less choice, if you want to get all your apps through the app store.
Oh no poor Apple users, faced with a very strange thing called CHOICE
The “choice” platform has already been in existence just as long as the iPhone…yet for some reason a small yet incredibly vocal group of people has decided that if iOS and Android don’t work exactly the same then Apple must be doing something wrong
Or, get this. People who enjoy iOS simply want to use the device they bought in the way they’d like. Not allowing choices is simply idiotic. Sideloading isn’t going to affect YOU if you don’t want to use it.
Since when didn’t we have choice? Nobody held a gun to my head and made me purchase Apple products.
Could someone educate me what is crypto phish attack snd what it does?
How.can I avoid it?
I own an android and I sideloaded some apps.
I guess it’s not completely in your control, but just be careful what you install.
As long as you aren’t downloading suspicious or weird apps, you’re likely fine. True for pretty much any Os.
Cool. I can’t wait to get stuck in the mile long queue at my local Apple Store behind a hundred dipshits who side loaded some crap on their phone which has bricked it. Most of whom will be insisting it’s all Apple’s fault too and demanding a new phone.
Why are you queuing at the Apple store?
Because in this hypothetical situation I have some hypothetical business with the Apple store and waiting for one’s turn behind those who previously arrived is how civilised countries handle this situation.
That can only happen if you are an idiot or clueless or involved in a data leak. All Apple has to do is disable it by default and inform users of the option to do it while giving some disclaimer about security and Apple not being liable for malicious apps.
You’re vastly overestimating people’s computer literacy
lmao
